Looks very nice. I would love to lower mine to that level. However, living in Northeast Oklahmoma I am afraid I would have some big time problems in clearing the road kill and hazards that are part of the every day driving in Oklahoma. The stock height of a Z 06 is almost too low now for this part of the country. There are cow chips that I can barely get over. This aint city driving!

Why do the girls always talk about the "black thingy?"

I have my vette slammed and that black plastic rubber guard just tells me when I am pretty close to rubbing the ground, you only have about 2.5 to 3 inches of clearance.

Hope you got your rocker guards on and front ones as well. You will find out that your nose is going to get scraped pretty well. Oh and those nasty speed bumps, try to avoid them.

Cheers!! Looks awesome.

OOOH, VG!

What a beautiful ride you have! The pic of your lowered C5 is awesome. VG, you have now acquired quite a stunning stance. Be careful over bumps, now. But, always remember: Enjoy.

Best Wishes,
Eden

This is funny! You aren't that far from Vette-Girl, but it seems all the road kill must travel to OK from eastern KS!

Sounds like the TX-vs-OK jokes I used to hear in the USAF!

I just went over some cat road kill Sunday It didn't clear at all and made alot of thumps before it flew out the back, not to mention the smell off the headers a block later. Their was a girl on the side of the road about to lose it when I looked back.

Have you looked into frame savers yet?

The "black thingy" in the center is for the radiator air, the one's on the side you can take off very easily or just cut as mentioned.

....however the vette just looks goofy with those "black thingy's" off.
